“How are you? Mr. Su,” I smiled and nodded. “Sorry, I’m in a hurry to forget to take my business card.”
Of course I didn’t really forget it but didn’t want to give him.
I came to Yang City to compete for the project, only to find that the Su family was my biggest competitor. Therefore, I did not want to intersect with him before the project was implemented.
Because I didn’t even know what’s his purpose to approach me in this case.
Wenbei Su nodded politely to show me understanding and looked at me.
I suddenly realized that I should at least state my name without business card since the other side had handed over his business card, “My name is Nala Yao.”
“Nice to meet you, Miss Yao.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“The first time we met, I find you congenial to me. Would you please have a cup of tea with me?”
He said tea, not coffee.
It’s known that drinking coffee was a common social way between young people while the older people were more likely to drink tea at the tea-house to talk about things. Now he asked to drink tea instead of coffee not because he liked tea.
I surmised that he deliberately invited me to the tea-house to hint that it was a solemn invitation rather than flirtation.
But I still refused him without hesitation, “Mr. Su, I’m afraid I have another appointment. Maybe next time.”
Wenbei smiled and nodded, “It’s a pity. Never mind. Please remember my number so that I can give a hand any time you need. I’d like to do my best for Miss Yao.”
“Thank you so much. See you next time.” I nodded and walked out.
When I was approaching the parking lot, Mu Chen followed, but stopped by Xuanlong.
“Xuanlong, what are you doing?” Mu shook his head reluctantly.
“Fourth Brother has told me that no dangerous people are allowed to approach Nala.” Xuanlong was still expressionless as before.
“Am I dangerous? I’m not. Xuanlong, there is just misunderstanding between Leon and me. Please don’t mistake me for an enemy.” Mu said.
“Go away! Or I won’t forgive you.” Xuanlong said coldly.
I felt embarrassed that I couldn’t intervene in when Mu was threatened by Xuanlong.
Because if I let Mu follow regardless of Xuanlong, it would be an embarrassing spectacle. After all, Xuanlong was out of kindness. Besides, he had told clearly it was Leon’ order.
If I went against him, Leon would think that my deals to Yang City was actually for Mu. In that case, I would be in a passive state. Therefore, I had to watch them in a standoff.
Finally, Mu decided to make a concession first, “May I say something to Nala from a certain distance? I’m not a beast to hurt her.”
I looked at Xuanlong. Then he retreated.
In fact, Xuanlong also knew that Mu wouldn’t hurt me. He just intended to express Leon’s attitude of forbidding me to intersect with Mu.
“So how? You lost. Were you accosted just now?” Mu said with a smile.
“You won,” I smiled. “But he was not accosting, I think. A casual chat at most.”
“I’m very curious that what he talked about with you?” Mu asked.
“Do you know him?” I was also surprised.
“I’ve heard about him before, but never met. As you talked with him just now, I searched for the photos of several important figures of the Su family online. It turned out that he was the second son of Su family.” Mu said.
“But he seems not to be the leader of Nanhe Group but only a vice president of the board of directors, whose status is similar to that of Leon in Su family despite that Leon does not enter the board of directors.”
“The second son of Su family is a big shot.” Mu said seriously.
Mu himself was one of the Three Young Masters of Hai City. Since Mu praised him in such a way, he must be a great person in the city.
“How big?” I was interested then. “Because he is the descendant of Su family?”
“Not that simple. He is of typical elite, not only a master of both Harvard and Oxford, but also a chief analyst, whose resume is so admirable. Above all, no one knew his true identity when he worked in Wall Street, which means that he is a veritable rich young man on the strength of himself. The identity as the second son of Su family is just the least valuable thing for him to show off. ”
I took a deep breath, “That’s really amazing. No wonder he looks so extraordinary.”
“Have you fallen in love with him? Be careful, Leon will be jealous.” Mu should make such a joke.
“No way! I just think he is really excellent. No one can forbid me to admire such a powerful person, okay?”
Mu smiled, “It’s not up to me. You should ask Leon for allowance. Where do you live? We should dine out later since you have lost. Don’t be biking.”
I looked at Xuanlong aside with a awkward smile, “Maybe another day.”
“Well, I’ll go back first,” Mu smiled and walked toward his car.
After I got in the car, Xuanlong silently drove back to the hotel.
“Fourth Brother doesn’t mean bothering you. Mu is really a dangerous person. Don’t be fooled by his appearance. He is actually a ruthless person. He’ll do anything to get what he wants.” Xuanlong suddenly said.
“I know that you are both kind of me. I understand.” I replied lightly.
“Fourth Brother asked us to look into the situation of the project. He is mobilizing his partnership to help us meet the chief leaders of the project. If necessary, he would come here in person.” Xuanlong said.
“Okay.” I answered.
Then we kept silent all the way to the hotel.
When I was taking a rest, the landline phone on the beside table rang. I answered to find it was the receptionist, saying that a gentleman wanted to see me.
I thought it should be Mu, so I said I would go downstairs immediately. When I opened the door of the room, I saw Xuanlong standing outside.
I was a little moved and said to him, “Why don’t you go to rest? It’s tiring to stand here all the time.”
Xuanlong still said with a straight face, “I am ordered to protect you by Fourth Brother and I must keep you safe.”
I said, “Someone downstairs wants to see me. May I meet him?”
He said, “I’ll go with you.”
He added, “Don’t be annoyed. I’m just doing my duty.”
I said, “I am not annoyed. I just don’t want to see you are too exhausted. It will make me uneasy.”
“It’s okay, let’s go.” Xuanlong made way for me and followed me behind.
Out of the elevator, I saw a slender and graceful man standing there at a glance. It was Wenbei.
How did he know I lived here? Was he tailing after me? What did he want to do?
I was a little nervous. Su family was extremely powerful in Yang City. What could I do if Wenbei really wanted to deal with me in their territory.
